Discussion of overdrives immediately leads one to think of TGP, but I actually really like them and prefer them to most other dirt pedals as my Pathfinder sounds best clean and I still haven't found that "one fuzz." Anywho, I already have an OD-3 and a Mini Fuck which I love, but have been reading about a lot of praise for the Boss Blooz Driver. So I picked one up for around $60. Surprisingly versatile and I think I like it more than my OD-3 although I need to do a side-by-side comparison. It kinda fattens things up a little when using my Jag and when the gain is cranked almost sounds like a fuzz. It's a keeper.

Thinking about actually picking one up. They're super cheap used and still affordable new. Never had one or any tubescreamer variant. Reckon it'll sound good with single coils (Jag/Tele/Strat) and Vox Pathfinder?

It's mainly a Tele I use mine with._________________Extreme distortion used discreetly...

I still use a SD-1 as well, to be fair though I think the eq is better on the Digitech Bad Monkey.

Was eyeing up a bad monkey for ages but in a fit of uncharacteristic sense thought the SD-1 made the noise I liked so why spend more cash... bad monkey demos sounded great though._________________Extreme distortion used discreetly...

Did a couple of side-by-side comparisons between the BD-2 and OD-3 today using the Strat and Tele going into the Pathfinder. Granted, I have to play through headphones 99% right now and I have only about 60% of my hearing left in my right ear, so it might have an effect on how I hear things.

Anyway, whenever both settings were similar on both pedals, the BD-2 sounded crisper/brighter whereas the OD-3 sounded darker/muddy. Hadn't really noticed that in the past when I just had the OD-3. However, you can overcome that on the OD-3 if you crank the tone knob. I know it's contrary to a lot of opinions I've read re: favoring the OD-3 over the BD-2, but I think I like the BD-2 a bit more although I'll still keep the OD-3 around because I still like it, I'm a senseless pedal hoarder, and have become a bit of a Boss fanboy again as of late.

iirc i was reading around about the blues driver and the screamin blues and the digitech pedal is literally a part for part clone of the boss, but with a potentiometer instead of a resistor for the bass control_________________

Yep, cheaper Blues Driver with a bass knob. Also it was previously one of the old DOD compacts, FX102 Mystic Blues (conceivably found even cheaper)_________________

I'm really liking the TC Electronics MojoMojo I recently picked up. I'm using my Jag thru it into a Twin Reverb Reissue (a bit modded). Thru the Twin I use it with the drive low, to give me just a little bit of grit. Sounds like light real tube OD, then when I want more gain I kick on a DS-1. The MojoMojo makes the DS1 sound really good, a lot more like real tube gain. It's also very flexible when dialing in the tone. For $50 brand new I think it's unbeatable for me.
